Traveling with children
Are you traveling abroad with minor children (up to age 18)? Then you need proof that you may travel with the children in the following cases:
- They are your children, but they have a different last name than you have;
- You do not have custody of your children;
- They are not your children.
You can find more information about traveling with children, documents you will need and a permission form on the government website .
I need a second passport/business passport
You can apply for a second passport if you:
- Travel to different countries for which you need to apply for a visa
- visiting countries in conflict with each other.
Make sure you do meet the requirements for a second passport and bring the proper documents. Read more about this on the central government website.
You can apply for a business passport if you travel often (for work, for example). This is a normal passport, but has twice as many pages for stamps.
I have a physical or intellectual disability
If a physical or mental disability prevents you from applying for a passport or identity card in person, the municipality will come to you. If in doubt, the municipality will ask you for a medical certificate.
If you are unable to get fingerprinted due to a temporary physical disability, you will get a passport or identity card that is valid for one year. If you have a permanent disability, you will get a passport or identity card that is valid for ten years.
To make an appointment, please call 140511.
